Hi Folks
I'm back again with a problem.
Problem caused by that rhubarb program windows. Yep it crashed, it was on windows 10 and for some reason or other it went down. It's own fix it would not work so I had to do a reinstall using windows 8.1 which of course screwed up grub. I have spent ages on Google reading how to recover it and have managed to get so far but now am lost. If not too much trouble I would appreciate some help.
Here is what I have managed to come up with using a live dvd running version 4.0.0.1 which is the latest one that I have.
root@vsido:/home/vsido# mount /dev/sdax /mnt
root@vsido:/home/vsido# grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sdax
Installing for i386-pc platform.
grub-install: warning: File system `ext2' doesn't support embedding.
grub-install: warning: Embedding is not possible. GRUB can only be installed in this setup by using blocklists. However, blocklists are UNRELIABLE and their use is discouraged..
grub-install: error: will not proceed with blocklists.
root@vsido:/home/vsido# update-grub
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of `overlay'.
root@vsido:/home/vsido# grub-update
bash: grub-update: command not found
root@vsido:/home/vsido# update-grub
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of `overlay'.
root@vsido:/home/vsido#
I have no idea how to go any further. Help Please
